So many of us often choose the wrong thing. The wrong thing to do, say, think, or even eat. We did this when we were young. We see our kids doing the same thing. We do it when we’re older. We do it all the time. Instead of treating our bodies like the temple they… Continue reading Bought and Paid For

Convinced
So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And… Continue reading Convinced
He Knows
As a human it’s hard to grasp how God became flesh, how Jesus became a man. Did He still know everything? How much pain did He feel? Did He ever use His powers for more than healing? The Bible doesn’t explain a lot except to say He was human like we are. He knows what… Continue reading He Knows
The Hymns
If you asked my three siblings, I think they would agree with me in feeling like we were made to ‘go to church’ every time the doors were opened when we were growing up. Maybe all kids feel this way. When we’re young, we don’t appreciate the sacrifices of our parents or the memories being… Continue reading The Hymns
One More
There have been a lot of songs written about ‘one more.’ One more day, one more hour, one more night, one more river to cross.

What is it Good For?
There was a song that came out in 1969, called War What is it Good For? Of course, it was meant to protest the Vietnam War. As a young girl, I can remember watching the news at dinnertime and seeing the videos showing the war. In the early 1990’s we had the Gulf War. The… Continue reading What is it Good For?
Go Back
A few times in my 50+ years, I’ve been asked if I’d go back. Would I go back and live my life again? My answer is almost always no, unless I could take what I know back with me. I don’t know that I would change much, but I know I would change some things.… Continue reading Go Back
Just Smile
Yesterday, I had to drive into Franklin for a doctor’s appointment. When I parked in the lot, I waited to see what other people were doing as far a wearing a mask and gloves or not. I saw some wearing them and some not, so I decided to forego both. When I walked in the… Continue reading Just Smile
